Hi Santeri,

Thank you for pointing out this gap in our documentation. The process for creating and managing custom credential types is now covered here:

https://docs.sciencelogic.com/latest/Content/Web_Monitoring_Tools/Discovery_and_Credentials/credentials.htm#creating-a-new-universal-credential-type

Thanks,

Hello Santeri,

The documentation here Credential Management explains each credential type and how to edit the credentials. However, how you modify the credential to monitor a specific type of device depends entirely on that device, especially for more complex credentials like SOAP/XML and Database credentials. These instructions are in the PowerPack manuals for the specific device you are monitoring, i.e. the IBM: DB2 PowerPack manual contains instructions on how to create credentials to monitor DB2 databases specifically.
